You can check, it is 100% sure same blade / same scabbard.
They are pretty far back, in 2003 somewhere just before I bought the following mandau from you via ebay.
Notice the hilt ?  |
Nice to see that somebody take the hilt off put an very nice one on it (that I did not see that it belong together it fits perfect even the metal bands) I must say it is an very good restauration .
But anyway I like this one very much .
Better than the hair shield you have that one that is complete distroyed with red and black paint.
I like to thank you for let me know this I have to be more looking at the stuf that I can buy .
Maybe we can see more about the mandau and scabbard so I might trace back where it did come from . ( If that was mine and put it in an new thread this one goes about seadajak/jimpul )
Because when I start to collect mandau it was something like 2002/2003 have an old pic from my collection from that time and can't remember the one you showing.
Ben
